Description Jeff Bastian 2011-10-20 22:53:26 UTC
Description of problem:
Now that Akonadi supports CalDAV, I tried switching to KOrganizer today (from Thunderbird+Lightning) and configured it to use my Zimbra calendar over CalDAV.

I noticed a few recurring meetings were missing from my calendar.  They show up once on September 15 and 16, and if I open them the Recurrence tab shows "Repeat: Never".

Zimbra, Thunderbird, and Evolution all display the events correctly, but KOrganizer seems confused.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdepim-4.7.2-5.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
unknown

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect KOrganizer to a Zimbra server using CalDAV
2. Look at recurring meetings

Actual results:
some recurring meetings only show once in KOrganizer

Expected results:
all recurring meetings are shown

ics of missing recurring meeting

I used Konqueror and connected to the Zimbra server using WebDAV so I could see my calendar as individual ics files.  With a bit of grep'ing, I found the ics file for my missing recurring meeting.

I see something interesting about this file that's different from the hundreds of other ICS files: there are 2 almost identical VEVENT entries but only the first one has an RRULE.

$ egrep 'VEVENT|RRULE' bad-recurrence.ics 
<snip timezones>
BEGIN:VEVENT
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY
END:VEVENT
BEGIN:VEVENT
END:VEVENT

I've attached the full bad-recurrence.ics file here (with meeting details stripped out, obviously).

My other missing recurring meetings also have 2 VEVENTs but only one RRULE.

I don't know the iCalendar standard well enough to say if this is bad syntax or not, but Zimbra, Thunderbird+Lightning and Evolution all show the meetings correctly.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 21:54:35 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-14 00:37:18 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 4 Kevin Clevenger 2013-02-14 16:12:26 UTC
This is still an issue with Fedora 18 and KDE 4.9.5, and the external bug is still valid.

Comment 5 Martin Kyral 2013-07-25 16:17:21 UTC
This is still an issue with Fedora 19 and KDE 4.10.95.

Comment 6 Martin Kyral 2013-07-25 16:18:23 UTC
Has an upstream bug been opened? If so, could anyone post the link to the bug here, please?

Comment 9 Martin Kyral 2013-12-04 10:57:56 UTC
There's patch for this issue at KDE reviewboard:
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/113374/

But still, the patch needs further work:
1) issues raised in the review
2) with the patch, I still don't see exceptional instances of the recurring events

Comment 13 Martin Kyral 2014-02-06 13:14:34 UTC
The original review seems dead, so I opened a new one for the patch few weeks ago:
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/114357/

However, the patch is causing massive memory leaks upon every calendar refresh, so this issue needs to be sorted.

Comment 14 Eric Christensen 2014-08-05 13:58:36 UTC
I, too, am seeing this problem in F20.
